Diagnostic

The key to successful treatment is proper diagnosis.

Most people with ADD/ADHD experience frustrating visits to mental and medical health professionals because they are not evaluated correctly or thoroughly. ADD/ADHD often exists with other disorders, such as Anxiety, various learning problems, Autism, and other neurophysiological disorders, causing it to be misdiagnosed often.

Treatment Services

Neurofeedback. Biofeedback. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

Neurofeedback research offers an ever growing number of non-drug treatments. For over 30 years, our Center has brought to our community the latest technological advances that have proven scientific efficacy. We recently welcomed Phillip Tirman, MD to our Center. His medical expertise will further our mission to enhance the quality of our diagnostic evaluation as well as expand our range of treatments.

In addition to offering quality Biofeedback and Neurofeedback treatment, we have added Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). This FDA approved noninvasive procedure uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain that significantly improve the symptoms of depression. TMS is a safe office procedure that does not require surgery or have the side effects associated with antidepressants.

NEUROFEEDBACK

Neurofeedback is an approach for treating ADHD that has been studied and practiced for years. With neurofeedback, individuals are provided with real-time feedback about their brainwave activity and taught to modulate certain aspects of their minds.

TMS

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) means stimulating the brain directly using small electrical fields. TMS has been proven safe and can be very effective. A non-drug option, TMS only influences the brain and doesn’t alter the rest of the body’s chemistry.

OUR MISSION

It is our intention, at the A.D.D. Treatment Centers...

…to educate communities as to the impact ADD can have on society, on families and most importantly those individuals afflicted. We intend to freely provide comprehensive sound information and recourses to any one who needs them. Finally, we are committed to providing powerful medical and psychological treatment programs to successfully reduces or alleviates attentional deficits, to minimizes or alleviates need for stimulant medications such as Ritalin or Adderall and to empowers individuals with new skills for increased learning, social development and self-esteem building.

TESTIMONIALS

Dear Dr. Schummer,

Hope you are well. I am sorry that I didn’t get to thank you in person at the final meeting. The work that you and your center have done with C is just incredible. He is an absolutely changed child. We always knew he was an amazing kid and you brought that out in him. Since having begun neurofeedback in your office our family and home life has just become so happy and healthy. I am planning to send you a copy of C’s most recent (and 1st) report card for 2nd grade. It is so outstanding, we keep looking at it day after day! Just to soak it all in. C is so proud of himself as well. He’s glowing about his test scores and reading abilities. His confidence in school, about school, and while doing schoolwork has grown tremendously.

Our lives have completely changed and we have you to thank. So thank you, Dr. Schummer!

Hope you are enjoying your ease into retirement…and maybe our paths will cross again someday.
